Scaler is a one-of-a-kind upskilling platform for tech education, with industry-approved programs taught by experts from top companies. Scaler Academy came into being in 2019 from its parent company InterviewBit and has since helped over 1,500 students get placed in leading software companies. 

Scaler has a tried and tested model of knowledge sharing that makes upskilling convenient for working professionals. The curriculum is designed to ensure that each learner knows Computer Science fundamentals (including Data Structures and Algorithms) and attains specialization in backend or full-stack while gaining proficiency in System Design (High-Level Design and Low-Level Design) through a project. Scaler's curriculum is based on 5 pillars:

  1. Flexible And Structured Curriculum: Scaler Academy's curriculum is vetted by top industry professionals and is at par with trends in the industry. Scaler considers the fact that most of their students are working professionals, and therefore all classes are recorded, with teaching assistants available to solve doubts. Scaler offers an option to pause the course, with lifetime access to one's assignments and notes. Check: Scaler By InterviewBit, Karnataka Courses and Fees
  2. Live Classes by Top Instructors: The Teaching faculty are all from either top institutions or the best technology companies in the industry. 
  3. 1 on 1 Personal Mentorship: Every student is assigned a dedicated mentor. Students get to choose their mentors based on their goals and skill sets. Mentors are professionals themselves who work at some of the top tech companies. A mentor helps them with doubt resolution, career guidance and advice to boost their career. The mentor is an excellent resource for learners to help prepare them for what lies ahead in their careers. 
  4. Scaler Community: Scaler Academy encourages networking and community building. With more than 1,500 placed learners and thousands of others enrolled in Scaler Academy, the internal community network is vibrant and fulfilling. Through multiple channels, alumni and current learners use this platform to share information on job opportunities, collaborate on projects, help others with authentic interview experiences, and tips about competitive programming contests. 
  5. Interview Prep & Placement: Scaler has built an end-to-end transaction from upskilling to ensuring their students are placed in some of the most reputed companies in the industry. Along with the alumni network, Scaler Academy also has a dedicated placement support team to help students get to their dream tech companies.

Abhimanyu Saxena, Co-founder, Scaler and InterviewBit, said, "We at Scaler have been continuously focusing on creating opportunities for our learners' community which will help them in career growth and professional success. With technology changing dynamically and many skills becoming redundant, tech professionals must upskill themselves regularly to stay relevant in the industry and progress in their careers. Further, it's not just the skillset alone but also mentoring and networking that equally matters in advancing one's career as one climbs up the ladder. Considering all this, we have designed rigorous community-focused learning programs that seamlessly integrate with learners' daily lives and provide opportunities to learn, connect, collaborate, and network with industry peers and leaders." 

Recently, Scaler launched 'Forever', a lifelong career accelerator program. It is one of a kind subscription-based program that aims to make lifelong learning possible. The Forever program is an amalgamation of industry-focused learnings, community, and mentoring designed exclusively for working tech professionals who want to continue advancing in their careers. From short-term courses to hackathons, masterclasses to workshops, mentoring sessions to networking opportunities, all the elements required to progress in one's career are bundled under this program and come as a single subscription. 

Scaler has also acquired Coding Elements & Coding Minutes to strengthen its upskilling offerings. They introduced a Data Science & Machine Learning Program. The program is developed based on insights from Scaler's survey with over 100 data scientists working with the top 50 tech and product companies globally.  Backed by Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global, Scaler has in a short period of time grown into the country’s leading and fastest-growing upskilling startup.

Scaler Academy is equipping students with the best training and knowledge to secure their dream jobs and thrive in the industry. With their unique initiatives and programs that enable limitless learning and collective career growth, Scaler is set to become a metaverse for technology learning.
